you know you need a vacation when ...
... everyone tells you that you look stressed and need to take a vacation. seriously.
I am not sure why I am so stressed. Aside from the fact that one week we have more stories and photos than we can fit in the paper and the next week I am down to four stories. but I don't think that's it really. I think it's more the fact that I haven't had a vacation since ... well since I moved here. I had one week off but I didn't go anywhere. and I have taken long weekends here and there and went to edmonton and elsewhere, but for some reason it never felt like a vacation. take my advice: the west edmonton mall is not a vacation, it is just a really really big mall, which means more people and if you stay there too long you want to scream.
so my point is, I would like to take a vacation where I get to actually relax. the sad this is, I know it won't happen any time soon. the next time I get time off will be for the wedding and I am more than thrilled and excited obviously, but I know it will be everything but relaxing. and we can't take a honeymoon until at least next spring.
I guess I am at a point where I am just tired of being tired. I have this problem where I take my work home with me. I can't turn my brain off and I get stressed out thinking about the upcoming day or week. It's wearing me out and it's not good.
on a more positive note, spring is slowly arriving and I am hoping that brings my spirits up a little. working all the time and spending the time when your not working in the house being lazy does nothing to boost your mood, I know that. I have to get out of the house, get some fresh air and exercise and have fun. and then I have to get excited because in just over four months I'm getting married!!! wooooo! and when that honeymoon does come, oh boy am I going to leave the rest of the world behind.
